Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk and 2 cups vanilla ice cream to a blender.
Add caramel sauce, crushed cookies, pure vanilla extract, and fine sea salt to the blender.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
Check consistency. Add 1 tablespoon milk at a time if too thick, or 1/4 cup additional ice cream if too thin.
Pour into a chilled 16-ounce glass and top with whipped cream and crushed cookie crumbs.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Add fine sea salt carefully to enhance the caramel flavor without overwhelming sweetness. For a thicker shake, chill the glass before serving.
